Stand
father
name,
we
seek
blessings
on
the
task
before
us
bless
our
efforts
with
clear
insight,
our
deliberations
with
wisdom,
our
work
with
clarity
and
accuracy
and
our
decisions
with
impartiality.
We
gather
to
make
decisions
for
our
community.
May
we
use
only
our
best
skills
and
judgment,
keeping
ourselves
impartial
and
neutral,
as
we
consider
the
merits
and
pitfalls
of
each
matter
that
is
placed
before
us
and
always
act
in
accordance
with
what
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
of
purple
Springs
and
our
fellow
citizen.
This
we
pray,
amen.
E
Code
enforcement
board
hearing
procedures
are
as
follows:
it
is
the
attention
of
this
board
to
promote,
protect
and
improve
the
health,
safety
and
welfare.
The
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
by
providing
an
equitable,
effective
and
inexpensive
method
of
enforcing
various
codes
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs.
Any
agitated
party
may
appeal
a
final
administrative
order
of
this
board
to
the
circuit
court.
Such
appeals
should
be
filed
within
30
days.
E
First,
the
city
presents
its
witnesses.
Annex
exhibits,
after
which
the
alleged
violator
is
able
to
ask
the
city
witnesses
any
specific
questions
regarding
their
testimony.
Secondly,
the
alleged
violator
is
allowed
to
make
a
presentation
and
present
his
or
her
witnesses
an
exhibit.
Then
the
city
can
question
the
alleged
violators
witness
after
both
rounds
of
testimony
both
party
of
the
city
and
on
the
part
of
the
alleged
violator.
Each
party
is
asked
to
give
a
closing
argument.
First
by
the
city
and
then
by
the
alleged
violator
after
those
three
steps
are
taken.
E
G
F
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
the
background.
Some
of
you
have
been
on
this
board
a
while
and
you
understand
the
process,
but
the
way
it's
going
to
work
today
is
is
we're
not
only
going
to
select
a
chairperson,
but
we're
also
going
to
do
a
vice
chairperson,
because
you
do
this
in
December
of
each
year,
and
it
just
so
happens
that
Miss
Archer
she
termed
out
her
last
meeting
in
last
month
in
November-
puts
us
in
the
same
place
that
we
need
to
be
for
the
election
anyhow.
F
F
F
Okay,
are
there
any
other
nominations
there?
Being
no
other
nominations,
then
miss
Wade
is
going
to
be
the
vice
chairperson
for
the
coming
year.
Since
mr.
weeks
has
been
appointed
as
the
chairperson,
you
do
not
have
to
change
seats,
obviously,
and
we
can
go
right
into
the
next
order
of
business,
which
is
the
affidavit
of
compliance
and
gradual
ations
to
both
of
you.
F
C
C
E
A
D
E
D
E
E
A
D
F
This
is
an
affidavit
of
non-compliance,
so
we
would
need
to
handle
this
like.
We
did,
handle
the
first
three
cases
and
so
you're
just
making
a
determination.
Okay,
they
did
not
come
into
compliance.
Timely,
so
you'd
either
accept
the
affidavit
of
compliance
or
follow
the
motion
that
you
had
made
before.
This
is
not
a
new
case,
even
though
those
words
are
there
new
violations.
This
is
under
affidavits
of
non-compliance.
F
This
is
just
like
the
first
three
you
just
we've
just
done.
This
is
affidavits
non-compliance,
and
so
the
question
for
you
today
is
is:
did
they
come
into
compliance
within
the
time
prescribed
in
your
previous
board
order?
The
city
is
submitting
an
affidavit
that
they
are
not
in
compliance
with
the
previous
board
order.
F
D
F
He
had
remind
the
board.
This
is
also
a
case
where
it's
been
previously
found
to
be
in
violation.
The
city
is
submitting
an
affidavit
of
non-compliance
and
obviously
mr.
Petts
elitists
and
one
of
his
witnesses
are
here.
So
evidently,
are
you
contesting
the
fact
that
it's
not
in
compliance
mr.
Fettes?
Okay,
so
we
need
to
have
the
city
go
ahead
and
present
its
case
then,
and
the
sole
determination
today
is
determined
not
whether
there's
a
violation
but
whether
it
still
exists.
Okay,.
H
F
G
G
G
F
G
F
So,
mr.
chair,
it's
your
determination
as
to
whether
or
not
you
want
to
allow
the
photographs
into
evidence
you
can
allow
them
in
for
whatever
probative
value
they
have.
If
you
want
to
do
that,
you're
gonna
overrule
the
objection.
Otherwise
you
would
sustain
the
objection
and
when
you
sustain
it,
that
means
that
you
agree
with
mr.
Kratz
ëletÃs.
If
you
overrule
it,
that
means
that
you're
agreeing
with
the
city
I
overruled.
E
H
H
What's
before
the
board
are
the
remaining
violations
on
the
property
of
city
code
8-14
duty
to
maintain
private
property,
the
adoption
of
6-1,
which
is
the
Florida
Building
Code
and/or,
the
2018
international
property
maintenance
code,
and
under
that
we
cited
the
international
property
maintenance
code,
section
three
zero
two
point:
seven,
which
deals
with
accessory
structures
and
I
can
read
that
to
the
board
if
they're
not
familiar.
Those
are
the
three
violations
that
are
before
the
board
for
an
affidavit
of
non-compliance.
H
As
mr.
Pat's
ëletÃs
had
stated,
he
called
stated.
He
was
ready
for
inspection.
I
did
conduct
an
inspection
at
the
date
he
requested,
but
because
you
know
we
knew
he
was
going
to
be
here
today.
I
went
out
yesterday
to
get
the
most
recent
possible
photographs
to
show
to
the
board
of
the
violations.
The
fact
that
they're
still
occurring
one
would
be
led
to
believe
that
if
they
were
occurring,
if
they
were
fixed
two
weeks
ago,
they
should
be
fixed
now.
So
what
I'm
presenting
in
the
photographs
are
not
only
as
mr.
H
Pat's
elitists
alluded
to
a
violation
of
the
roof.
Those
two
sections
of
the
code
deal
with
dilapidated
structures.
It's
not
just
the
roof.
The
roof
did
have
holes
in
it,
but
the
structure
itself
is
in
very
poor
condition.
This
board
meeting,
one
of
the
things
that
was
requested
was
a
structural
engineer
to
state
whether
or
not
that
structure
was
stable
or
not,
and
that
has
not
occurred.
H
That's
another
part
of
the
reason
why
I
bring
before
the
board
that
it's
not
compliance
international
property
maintenance
code,
three
zero,
two
seven
states
quote
accessory
structures,
including
detached
garages,
fences
and
walls,
shall
be
maintained
structurally
sound
and
in
good
repair.
That's
it
that's
the
whole
section
based
on
the
photographs.
It
does
not
appear
that
and
I'm,
not
a
structural
engineer.
So
as
far
as
that's
why
we
requested
a
structural
engineer
to
report
that
it's
structurally
sound,
but
it
does
not
to
be
it.
Does
not
appear
to
be
in
good
repair.
H
You
can
see
from
the
photographs
there's
still
numerous
holes
in
it.
The
roof
was
repaired.
It's
a
metal,
corrugated
roof
was
repaired
with
some
plastic,
it
appears
I,
don't
know
as
far
as
buildings,
whether
they're
not
allowed
to
do
that.
But
I
can
imagine
they
probably
don't
we're
quite
the
same.
You
can
see
also
in
the
photographs
there's
still
holes
in
the
side
of
the
wall
on
the
north
side
of
the
I.
Think
it's
a
Gras
is
what
technically
the
structure
is
and
there's
still
it's
it's
basically
still
in
very
poor
condition.
H
H
H
F
H
H
November
28th,
the
fence
has
been
repaired,
debris
cleaned
up,
accessory
structure
still
in
poor
condition
and
no
correspondence
with
the
city.
Regarding
structural
stability
received
a
call
stating
property's
been
in
compliance.
He
will
call
back
with
the
date
he
completed
it.
That
was
a
phone
call
was
dated
12
five
and
December
11th
I
take
I
took
the
photographs.
H
G
A
A
H
Cans
weren't.
What
brought
me
out
I
got
a
citizen
complain
about
trash.
There
was
a
large
amount
of
trash
stacked
at
the
curb
and
there
were
also
trash
cans.
That
was
one
of
the
I'll.
Tell
you
the
count,
one,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
I
think
nine
total
violations
so
we're
here
on
three
of
them.
The
other
six
had
been
complied
with
sometime
between,
but
November.
G
H
G
But
it
wasn't
my
tenant,
it
was
a
visitor
to
my
tenant,
so
my
tenant
was
the
lady
that
I
had
with
me
and
she
didn't
give
you
permission
to
go
on
the
property,
but
the
additional
violations
occurred
after
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is
that
we
cleared
the
first
violations
and
then,
when
you
went
back
and
took
additional
pictures
of
the
garage
that
created
these
other
three
violations,
am
I
correct
there?
No.
H
G
G
Self-Explanatory
I'm
just
trying
to
get
a
clarification,
the
things
that
are
outstanding
the
day,
these
three
violations
that
that
that
you've
brought
up
and
saying
that
I'm
in
non-compliance.
Those
are
new
violations
that
you
took
that
day.
When
you
went
and
you
you
got
permission
from
somebody
there,
but
not
my
tenant-
to
go
on
the
property
and
take
pictures
of
the
garage
so.
H
A
H
A
H
You
were
also
cited
on
August
29th,
for
violation
of
the
city,
ordinance
6-1,
which
is
the
adopt
the
international
property
maintenance
code
and
IPM
c30
to
seven,
which
are
accessory
structures,
which
is
the
shed.
This
is
quote
from
the
August
29th
notice,
violation
which
you
signed
for
shed
small
building
and
rear,
appears
in
poor
condition
and
needs
maintenance.
Vines
are
growing
over
the
building
and
the
roof
appears
rusty
and
possibly
unstable
does
not
appear
in
good
repair.
H
That
was
the
August
29th
Notice
of
Violation
when
I
went
out
the
second
time
and
I
had
the
opportunity,
because
you
and
I've
had
this
discussion
about
you
continually
thinking,
I,
trespass
on
your
property.
Your
tenants,
son-in-law
I,
think
was
there.
I
specifically
said:
do
you
live
here?
His
address
on
his
driver's
license
was
55
West
lemon
Street.
So
what
else
am
I
supposed
to?
Do?
You
don't
allow
me
on
the
property.
So,
therefore,
when
the
tenant
was
there,
I
asked
could
I
take
pictures
and
yet.
H
Photographs,
the
evidence
still
existed,
but
I
was
able
to
get
better
photographs
of
it
on
the
second
trip,
because
the
doors
were
open,
I
got
invited
in
I
took
that
opportunity.
Okay,
for
that
violation
to
add
those,
but
it
existed
on
your
August
29th
Notice
of
Violation
I
just
fine-tuned
it
a
little
bit.
G
A
H
H
H
G
H
Hit
my
thumb
with
a
nail
before
I
stated
that
earlier
I,
but
I
can
tell
you
what
good
repair
appears
to
be
I've
been
a
homeowner
for
many
many
years
and
I've
paid
lots
of
people
to
fix
things
that
didn't
look
right
matter
of
fact.
The
interesting
part
is,
is
you
must
have
agreed
with
that
because
you
paid
somebody
to
fix
part
of
it,
so
you
must
have
agreed.
There
was
some
non
repair
I.
H
F
G
I'll
just
kind
of
remind
everybody:
that's
either
some
new
board
members,
but
the
violation
was
tablet.
I,
think
August
29th,
it's
date
of
the
letter.
I
got
it
a
few
days
later
during
that
period.
During
that
period
of
time
my
mother-in-law
was
in
the
hospital
she
subsequently
went
into
hospice
and
subsequently
passed
away.
G
I'll
ask
him
to
testify
in
a
few
minutes,
but
basically
he
went
out
right
away
because
he
knew
the
stress,
I,
guess
and
I
didn't
have
time
to
do
it
myself
and
cleaned
everything
up
and
took
care
of
whatever
the
violations
were.
The
the
roof
has
officer.
Gaston
testified
the
pictures
of
the
roof
showing
that
there
were
holes
in
where
the
the
roof
meets
the
side,
where
the
top
of
the
roof
meets
the
side.
There
was
some
holes
in
there
and
so
I
again
asked
my
friend
subsequently
to
go
out
and
take
care
of
that.
G
Feel
that
I
was
in
compliance
with
what
I
was
asked
to
do
at
this
last
code
board
hearing,
because
they
had,
they
gave
me
a
certain
date
to
repair
that
roof.
Based
on
the
pictures
that
officer
gassen
had
provided
the
code
board,
showing
there
was
some
gaps
between
the
roof
and
the
actual
side
struggle.
So
these
repairs
address
that.
So
as
far
as
I
was
concerned,
I
was
in
compliance,
and
so
that's
why
I
BEC
do
this
notice
of
non-compliance
and,
let
me
see
I,
have
some
questions
for
my
witness.
G
I
G
E
I
I
I
H
I
H
I
H
I
E
H
H
It's
not
specifically
defined
for
the
simple
reason
that
it's
kind
of
common
sense.
The
city
ordinance,
is
pretty
explicit
about
that
as
well.
Mr.
Pat
Solita
says
Witness
fixed
to
holes
in
the
roof,
but
didn't
even
remember
the
north
side
of
the
building
outside
of
that
I
would
still
contend
that
the
building
is
in
a
state
of
disrepair
specifically
asked
to
have
a
structural
engineer
which
his
witness
testified.
He's
not
I
stated
I'm.
Not
that's.
H
E
F
D
G
G
Expertise
in
that
area
at
all,
however,
he
does
have
a
whole
city
of
darpan
Springs,
the
drawn
for
expertise,
he's
got,
zoning
people
he's
got
building,
people
he's
got
all
kinds
of
people
that
he
could
have
asked
to
assist
him
to
identify
whether
or
not
the
building
was
structurally
sound.
I
brought
in
somebody
with
20
years.
Construction.
Business
who
States
sound
so
appears
versus
an
expert
who's,
been
doing
that
for
20
years
is
quite
a
difference
whether
it
doesn't
look
that
appealing
because
of
its
age
does
not
affect
the
structural
soundness.
G
That's
the
structure
inside
the
wood,
the
framework
and
whether
the
building
in
with
Stan
win
and
stay,
and
it's
been
there
through
several
hurricanes.
Nothing
has
happened
to
it,
so
I
think
we've
complied
and
when
officer
gasps
and
talks
about
the
north
side
of
the
building
that
wasn't
what
the
code
board
asked
me
to
do.
The
code
board
asked
me
who
addressed
the
holes
on
the
south
side
of
the
building,
and
that's
what
I
asked
me
to
help
me
with
and
that's
what
he
did
so
I.
G
You
know
you
can
zing
me
all
you
want,
but
when
you
tell
me
to
do
something
and
I
do
it
and
then
you
come
back
and
tell
me
I
didn't,
do
it
I,
don't
think
it's
appropriate
and
the
bode
board
asked
me
to
fix
that.
Did
I
complied
yet.
I
have
a
notice
of
non-compliance,
so
I
guess
that's
my
posing
I'm
a
compliant
person.
I
tried
to
do
what
I'm
told
and
I.
Don't
even
think
I
should
have
been
established
at
the
beginning,
but
that's
a
whole
different
story.
E
D
D
G
G
G
C
E
F
B
G
F
J
B
F
F
E
F
We
just
need
a
motion
to
accept
the
affidavits
of
compliance
and
then
on
the
ones
that
the
prosecution
costs
I'd
ask
that
we
do
them
separately.
A
separate
motion
for
all
the
ones
listed
with
the
prosecution
cost.
So
it
looks
like
we
can
do
the
first
two
in
one
motion
and
then
we
need
to
follow
the
other
ones,

You
have
a
question
about
the
prosecution
cost.
Is
that
what
you're?
Okay?
If
you
could
just
sit
down
right
there,
you
have.
You
been
sworn
in
earlier,
where
you
sworn
in
earlier.
Yes,
okay,
once
you
sit
down
right
there,
so
mr.
Chira,
she
is
questioning
the
affidavit
of
prosecution
costs
and
so
I
would
ask
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
officer
gousen
to
explain
his
affidavit
of
prosecution,
cost
to
the
property
owner.
H
All
right,
ma'am,
the
affidavit
of
prosecution
costs
as
the
city
is
allowed
under
Florida
State
statute,
to
collect
certain
costs
in
prosecuting
your
case
more
or
less
those
are
just
simple
expenses.
Their
time
spent
on
the
case
clerk's
time.
My
time,
there's
the
cost
of
certified
letters
posting
as
things
like
that
those
are
just
administrative
costs,
so
they're
considered
prosecution
cost,
but
probably
a
good
name
for
him
would
be
administrative
costs
to
bring
your
case
to
code
board.
There's
costs
that
go
with
it,
so
the
city
is
asking
you
to
reimburse
us
for
those
expenses.
C
F
C
H
Man,
this
is
not
atypical
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination,
for
cases
brought
before
the
code
board.
Today
you
happen
to
be
a
dollar
and
fifty
cents
higher
than
the
next
one
closest
to
you,
which
was
one
hundred
and
sixty-seven
dollars.
We
had
numerous
inspections.
I
went
out
there
a
few
times
at
your
request.
So
that's
why
there
may
be
more
time
spent.
C
H
C
C
H
Man,
the
only
thing
I
can
tell
you,
is
the
original
Notice
of
Violation.
If
you
complied,
you
would
add
zero
charges.
There
are
only
four
cases
that
go
before
this,
so
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
tell
you
we
we
brought
this
in
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
we've
been
doing
it
and
ours
are
actually
not.
That
probably
makes
you
feel
any
better.
Other
cities
charge
significantly
more
than
we
do
so,
and
that's
not
the
intent
behind
this.
It's
just
to
recoup
some
of
our
costs.
That's
all.
F
Okay,
mr.
chair
I
would
suggest
that
we
move
on
now
I'm
gonna
advise
the
board
that
under
Florida
Statute
chapter
162,
the
city
having
been
the
prevailing
party
and
the
code
enforcement
action
is
entitled
to
its
prosecution
costs.
You've
got
an
affidavit
in
front
of
you
should
be
coming
down
through
here
sooner
or
later
that
sets
forth
those
costs.
You've
heard
no
testimony
in
opposition
other
than
I,
don't
like
to
pay
it
I,
don't
want
I,
don't
think
it's
right,
it's
more
than
anybody
else's.
F
So
you
need
to
decide
whether
or
not
you
want
to
have
the
city
receive
its
prosecution
costs
or
not.
You
can
any
dollar
it's
not.
You
can
make
the
decision
as
to
the
dollar
amount,
but
you
have
got
testimony
and
evidence
now
in
the
form
of
an
affidavit
as
to
what
the
actual
costs
were.
So
my
advice
to
you
is,
since
you
have
the
affidavit
you've
had
the
testimony
after
the
actual
costs
incurred
in
the
case
that
it
would
be
appropriate
to
award
this
prosecution
cost
to
the
city
and
include
that
in
the
motion.

It
reads
after
a
fine
has
been
imposed
by
the
board
and
within
60
days
after
the
violation
is
brought
into
compliance,
a
violator
may
petition
for
reconsideration
of
a
fine.
The
petition
must
be
in
writing
signed
by
the
violator
and
include
a
copy
of
the
affidavit
of
compliance
executed
by
the
code
inspector.
The
petition
must
show
conclusive
evidence
showing
extreme
or
undue
hardship
in
the
payment
of
the
fine
or
preventing
the
violator
to
come
into
compliance
within
a
time
period
established
by
the
board's
order.
F
The
board
secretary
shall
schedule
the
petition
to
be
considered
and
the
board
shall
make
its
determination
based
solely
upon
the
written
petition.
The
board
may
request
information
from
the
code
inspector.
The
board
secretary
shall
notify
the
violator
by
regular
mail.
The
determination
made
by
the
board
no
petition
for
the
reduction
of
a
fine
will
be
considered
prior
to
the
board's
acceptance
of
an
affidavit
of
compliance.
Under
no
circumstances
may
the
amount
of
the
fine
be
reduced
below
the
costs
of
the
action.
F
Under
no
circumstances
may
the
amount
of
the
fine
be
reduced
once
a
foreclosure
action
is
instituted.
Additionally,
under
no
circumstances
may
the
amount
of
the
fine
for
a
repeat
violation
be
reduced.
Those
are
rules
of
procedure,
they've
been
in
effect
for
over
25
years,
and
that
guides
you
for
what
your
to
consider
right
now.
This
fine
reduction
request.

H
The
way
I,
don't
notices
with
the
city
on
top
of
this
packet
is
a
green
card.
It's
called
a
door
hanger.
So
if
you
hear
me
refer
to
I
left
the
door
hanger
at
their
door,
this
is
what
I
would
leave
if
I
don't
personally
talk
to
somebody
I
would
leave
one
of
these
green
cards
at
their
door
and
handwrite
the
information
and
what
it
is.
H
That's
a
lot
of
times
my
initial
visit,
if
you
will
the
big
giant
orange
sticker,
that
has
really
good
adhesive
on
it,
that's
for,
if
I
tag
a
vehicle
or
something
to
that
effect.
So
if
I,
if
I
mentioned
having
to
put
a
tenday
sticker
on
property
or
a
vehicle,
that's
the
ten-day
sticker.
Also
in
the
packet,
is
what
we
send
out
as
a
Notice
of
Violation.
You
guys,
unfortunately,
get
black-and-white
copies,
usually,
except
for
the
past
around
to
be
put
into
evidence.
H
We
do
send
them
out
in
color,
and
there
is
certain
times
where
we
emphasize
certain
things
in
those
especially
notice
of
hearings
and
things
like
that.
We
emphasize,
if
they're
repeat,
violator,
fines
or
accumulating
as
of
this
date
moving
forward
and
things
like
that
and
the
whole
reason
we
just
wanted
you
guys
to
have
these
for
your
books.
So
if
you
ever
had
a
question
about
what
does
it
Notice
of
Violation
look
like
if
respondents
up
here
the
alleged
violators
up
here
and
they're
like
well
I
I,
don't
know
anything
about
an
orange
sticker.
H
You
can
kind
of
see
that
they're
not
they're,
very
obvious.
The
notice
of
violations.
How
they're
sent
out
I
know,
there's
been
discussion
over
the
years
about
oh
I,
never
saw
that
Notice
of
Violation
at
the
end
of
it
is
also
all
of
the
ordinances
are
actually
printed
out
and
sent
a
lot
of
times.
These
letters
that
go
to
the
violators
are
huge,
they'll
have
15
20
pages
of
just
spelling
out.
The
whole
ordinance
is
what's
sent
to
them,
so
it's
we
don't
send
out
some
obscure
little.
Really,
you
didn't
do
it.
H
You
did
something
wrong.
You
need
to
fix
it
and
that's
it.
We
are
very
informative
and
try
to
be,
and
we
continually
update
these
letters
and
try
to
give
them
as
much
information
as
possible.
So
that
was
the
whole
reason
for
that
and
mr.
de
Matos
and
Miss
Ellie
err.
You
guys
have
the
books
that
we
produce
last
year,
which
were
secondary
to
our
training
and
I.
Think
they
even
have
they
have
the
DVD
in
there.
There's.
No
we'll
get
you
guys
copies
of
the
actual
training
session,
so
mr.
H
C
F
H
Kind
of
depends
on
what
it
is
the
other
day,
I
had
one
where
they
just
had
some
stuff.
They
had
to
pick
out
of
the
yard.
I
gave
him
five
days,
I
think
you
know
vehicles
and
things
like
that.
It's
actually
imprinted
on
there.
We
start
at
ten
days.
Most
notice
of
violations
and
notice
is
like
that
10
to
14
days,
because
we
also
pad
in
the
time
for
mailing
so
like
if
Beth
happens,
to
notice
they're
out
of
stage,
she
might
actually
give
them
two
or
three
more
days.
